President Benigno Aquino III finally broke his silence on the news that he is dating Korean television personality Grace Lee. "We're seeing each other," Aquino told ABS-CBN News. He did not provide further details, citing his constitutional right to privacy.

The news was first shared by controversial radio host Mo Twister, who is currently in the United States. He said on Twitter: "We are talking about Grace Lee's date last night with President Aquino. #itsmorefuninthephilippines."

This after a certain Adrian Abella tweeted Mo Twister: "Just asked Grace Lee if it's true that she had dinner with President Aquino. She said she did." Asked about the supposed date last week, Presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said: "We do not comment on private matters of the President."

Lee, for her part, denied a newspaper report claiming that she admitted dating Aquino. "I never said we dated. Nor did I say we are text mates. Nor that he comes to visit me," she said on Twitter.

Aquino, 51, is said to be lucky during the Year of the Water Dragon, especially in the love department. "This year, he will have a love life if he is willing to get married... The First Lady is coming out," Hong Kong-based feng shui master Joseph Chau Kam Shing said early this month.
